I can understand why he opted to not run. You shouldnt gamble on a presidential campaign when youve lost your son and are still grieving just because there is some support if you decide to run..... He had more of a legit reason to decide to not run for president (when he certainly had the support to make a lengthy run if he decided to) than anything else I can think of at the moment

Yea. If I were in his shoes, it might be the last thing I really want to mess with. Too bad for him. He is a great guy. I got to meet him VERY briefly, and he is a genuine person.

Itll be interesting to see now where his support will go to, considering he had 20% of the democratic vote without even declaring that he was running. Now that hes officially out, his base will have to choose between clinton and sanders, and im certain that the lions share will go to clinton
